We open up with a Catchy 80s synthwave intro, before eventually seeing the exterior of a nice house in suburban japan. A man with goat hooves is seen mowing the lawn across in the house across the street.

Magic Voice: 'The Snowball Effect is filmed before a live studio audience'

We cut to the interior of the house, it's a well furnished house. Soon the door opens and Mineta enters the house. He's wearing a nice suit and carrying a briefcase.

The Studio gives a polite applause as Mineta enters his house.

Mineta: "Honey, I'm home..."

Mineta leaves his shoes at the door, and hangs his jacket up in the closet. Rei Todoroki enters the frame. Although she's nearing 40, she's very clearly aging with grace. she gives a cute little smile as she sees Mineta.

Rei: "Welcome Home, darling"

Mineta gives Rei a hug that turns into a kiss. The psuedo-sensual nature of the kiss hints at Mineta's long forgotten life as a Pervert.

Rui then comes rushing from the room where she and Rei were, excited at seeing her dad again. She leaves a thin trail of frost as she dashes through the living room. The frost lasts only for a few milliseconds before melting. Rui hugs on to Mineta's leg.

Even despite Mineta's growth spurt, he's still somewhat short. Rui reaches a bit past Mineta's knee.

Mineta looks down and smiles at her, patting Rui's head gently.

Mineta: "Hey Pumpkin, How's daddy's little princess?"

Rui doesn't say anything, she just nuzzles up against Mineta's leg.

The Studio audience gives the expected 'Awwww' at Rui being the adorable kid she is.

Mineta then looks at Rei, an exaggerated look of confusion on his face.

Mineta: "Didn't we have three kids?"

The camera then slowly tracks as Mizuki and Hiro walk in from the kitchen.

Mizuki: "Oh no, we're just two strangers who've been squatting in your house for several years now..."

Mineta smiles at Mizuki's humor, and Rei gives a slight giggle, from behind her hand.

The audience also laughs at Mizuki's sarcastic one-liner.

Mineta gives an even bigger smile, deciding to play along with this Mizuki's little joke.

Mineta: "Well then would you two strangers like to join my family for Cold Soba?"

At the mention of Cold Soba, another person walks on to the set. At the appearance of the Red and White Haired teen heartthrob the audience goes wild with cheering.

Shoto: "Did someone say Cold Soba?"

Magic Voice: "The Snowball Effect will be back after these messages"

Although it's an unusual family, it's a happy one. If someone who knew Mineta in his younger and sleazier years was told about the New Mineta, they probably would think you were insane. Hell, Mineta himself could barely believe it, but Love makes you do strange things.
Mineta: "So, kids how was school today.."

The children given their vague answers of apathy, (after all they're children on a sitcom, They usually aren't going to be thrilled about going to school).

Hiro: "Actually There is something I'd like to bring up.. It's Career day at school tomorrow and I was wondering..."

Mineta smiles at this.

Mineta: "Of course I'll go son.."

Hiro frowns at this.

Hiro: "Actually I was going to ask Uncle Shoto..?"

Now it's Mineta's turn to frown, although his experience in the courtroom helps him hide the disappointment he feels. Shoto is hesitant, He's very busy being the Number 2 Ranked hero, Snow-Flair.

Shoto: "I'm really not sure if that's the best idea? Shouldn't you ask your fath-"

Hiro begins pleading, visions of being the coolest kid at career day blinding him to the things he's saying.

Hiro: "Yeah, but I mean, You're the Number 2 Hero, and he's just a boring old lawyer."

Mineta finishes his meal in silence. Not even Mizuki's attempt at convincing Shoto make's him smile.

Mizuki: "If you don't say yes, He might try bringing along Uncle Dabi..."

The studio audience, picturing the image of the burned, black leather wearing ex-villain telling a bunch of 8 year old children all about the war crimes he committed, give a dark chuckle at this.

Mineta says nothing as he exits the dining room. It's quite clear that he's upset.

Rei notices this, she pursed her lips at Hiro for a moment, before deciding to deal with him later.

Rei then leaves to go comfort Mineta.

Rui: "Hiro, You hurt Daddy's feelings..."

Hiro is flabbergasted at the accusation.

Hiro: "Me? I didn't say anything bad about Him...Just his job"

Mizuki shakes her head in disapproval.

Mizuki: "Honestly, the way some kids talk to their parents"

The Audience laughs at this statement, given that Mizuki is usually the one making sarcastic comments.

We then transition to a different room in the Mineta-Himura household, Mineta is sitting in the sunroom, A half-finished painting, lies on the easel. Mineta is singing softly to himself. It's a song he often listens to, ever since he first started his new reformed personality.

Mineta: "Raindrops keep Falling on my Head...And Just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed, nothing seems to fit/ those Raindrops are falling on my Head, they keep falling"

Soon Mineta feels a cool touch on his shoulder. It's a pleasant, soft, cold, like a gentle breeze through a snow covered pine forest.

Rei: "Are you okay honey?"

Mineta turns around to face her, doing his best to conceal his emotions.

Mineta:"I'm fine.."

Rei frowns at him, it's a frown that contains no malice, yet still shows disagreement. Mineta then gives a nervous smile.

Rei: "You might be a really good lawyer, but I'm your wife. I know when you're lying... Even to yourself"

Mineta sighs, he honestly thought that he'd overcome his feelings of inadequacy.

Mineta: "I don't know why it bothers me. I had a chance to be a hero... I gave it up. I sometimes wonder, though about what could have been?"

Rei gives Mineta a tight hug and kiss. The tears that were beginning to form on Mineta's eyes freeze up.

Rei: "You've always been a hero to me..."

Rei and Mineta share a kiss that begins to go further before it's interrupted by a groan of disgust.

Hiro: "I..Dad, I wanted to say I'm sorry, but please Warn me before you and mom start doing something gross like that again..."

Mineta and Rei give a laugh at that, as does the audience.

Mineta: "Hiro, I can understand if you want to bring Shoto for career day.."

Now it's Hiro's turn to give a smile.

Hiro: "Actually, I thought of an even better Idea"

Magic Voice: "Closed Captioning for The Snowball Effect is brought to you by"

The small crowd of 5 people all stood in front of the classroom, as Hiro gave his report.

Hiro:"And even though they have very different jobs, they're all equally important to me. Sure my Uncle Shoto is the Second Highest Ranked pro-hero, but that doesn't mean he's the only person in my family with a job worth sharing. My Aunt Fuyumi is a Teacher who helps educate the future generations. My Uncle Natsuo is a doctor who helps people when they're sick. My Mom makes paintings that can make people really happy and it's very therapeutic.."

Hiro pauses as he looks at his father with a smile.

Hiro: "And my Dad helps people who've been wrongly accused...They're all heroes in there own way..."

One kid in the back raises his hand.

Kid: "and who's that guy in the picture?"

Hiro: "Oh, that's Uncle Dabi, He would be here, but he's not allowed within 500 feet of a School...It's one of the conditions of his probation"

As the Audience gives one last applause over the rolling
